Lot of talk this week about gun control, yep, lotta talk and that's all that will happen...talk. As long as the 2nd Amendment is in the United States Constitution, there is very little we can do about this gun culture that surrounds us.

There is occasionally talk about repealing the second Amendment, but believe me, it would be a complicated process. You'd have to create another amendment to repeal the second amendment and then on top of that it would take the legislatures of 38 states to ratify such an amendment. Good luck with all that.

Some of us remember the attempt to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment back in the last century. It did not go well, especially when opponents like Phyllis Schlafly hysterically claimed we'd all have to go to the bathroom together in public restrooms. I can only imagine what would happen if we tried toremove the Constitutional right to own a gun.

I'm afraid we're stuck with guns and the mayhem they cause in the wrong hands. Hey, that's part of the charm of living under the rule of the National Rifle Association.

Oh well, the Olympics have started. That'll help take our minds off all the killing and shooting...maybe.
